If you're planning on applying to medical school, let Varsity Tutors connect you with qualified Denver MCAT preparation that can help you enhance and elevate your test review. Admissions into the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora can be very competitive. The MCAT, or Medical College Admission Test, will likely be one of the most challenging hurdles you will have to clear on your path to enrollment. Almost all of the medical schools in the U.S. require MCAT scores with your application, so if you're casting a wide net in your application process, scoring well on the MCAT may help to better your chances of getting into your dream school. The exam will test you on concepts that will help admissions counselors gauge your preparedness to study medicine at a high level.

Enrolling in a Denver MCAT prep course or studying with a Denver MCAT tutor gives you access to a multitude of resources while also providing instruction from a qualified academic mentor. We thoroughly vet instructors to ensure that they are capable of meeting your needs and helping you reach for your goals.
What can Denver MCAT preparation help me review?
When preparing for an exam as comprehensive as the MCAT, it's best to approach your studies with a detailed, structured plan to guarantee that you will review the appropriate content that might be covered in the exam. The MCAT contains four different sections: Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems, Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills, Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems, and Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior. You will have 6 hours and 15 minutes to complete the entirety of the computer-based exam. Here, we will break down each of the sections of the test to give you a better idea of the subject material you can expect to encounter on the MCAT.
In the Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems section, you will be tasked with answering 59 questions in 95 minutes. This section focuses on the functions of the human body's tissues, organs, and organ systems as well as the chemical and physical principles of living systems. Having an understanding of concepts in general chemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry, introductory physics, biology, and basic biochemistry pertaining to the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of the human body will be necessary for this section.
The Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills portion of the exam will measure your verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, and analytical skills by asking you to analyze provided passages that may come from a variety of disciplines in the social science and the humanities. You will face nine passage-based sets of questions, totaling 53 questions in all. With 90 minutes to work through this section, it will be essential to read and work in an efficient manner. Having a firm grasp on the conventions of the English language, an ability to decipher meaning in a text, and extrapolate ideas from a passage to new contexts will help you succeed in this section.
The Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems section tests your knowledge in general chemistry, organic chemistry, introductory biology, and basic biochemistry. To answer the given questions, you must combine your knowledge of these subjects with your scientific inquiry and reasoning skills. Understanding the relationship between cell and organ systems and how they, for example, work together to accomplish processes like growing and reproducing, will help you navigate this section in an informed, confident manner.
In the Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior section, you will be tested on skills that allow one to serve a diverse population, understand behavioral impact on health, and diagnose mental health issues, among other things. You will have 95 minutes to answer 59 questions that will test your subject knowledge in biology, introductory psychology, and introductory sociology. To succeed in this portion of the test, you will need a thorough understanding of human behavior, self-perception, and how social and cultural differences affect well-being, among other things.
How can Denver MCAT prep help me prepare for the exam?
Varsity Tutors can connect you with two of the most effective types of Denver MCAT prep: online classes and private tutoring. Each type of review will be geared towards helping you develop foundational subject knowledge and effective test-taking skills. Let's take a closer look at the unique benefits that each type of prep can offer you.
Enrolling in a Denver MCAT prep class places you in a virtual, interactive classroom led by an expert instructor and populated with other eager peers. You will attend live sessions where you can ask questions, troubleshoot, and learn new strategies and perspectives. Our online platform is intuitive and easy to use, so even if you've never taken an online course before, there won't be much of a learning curve. If you're struggling to apply sociological concepts to real-life scenarios, you can schedule one-on-one time with your instructor to focus specifically on your area of need. Classroom time may also be utilized to exchange ideas and expand your understanding of certain subjects by studying with a diverse set of peers. New two- and four-week sessions begin weekly, so you can jump in whenever you're ready without feeling like you've missed the boat.
If you are seeking more personalized instruction, getting matched with a Denver MCAT tutor might better suit your needs. To provide you with maximum flexibility, your instructor can meet you in-person or online in our Live Learning Platform. This offering allows you to directly tailor a study plan to your areas of opportunity, meaning that you don't have to wait for a classroom curriculum to align with your specific needs. If you want to focus solely on the Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems portion of the exam, you can skip the other subject areas and tailor your sessions around building the conceptual knowledge needed for this portion of the exam.
How do I begin my Denver MCAT prep?
Given the duration and wide-ranging nature of the MCAT, you may feel like you're training for a mental decathlon. Building efficient test-taking skills and broad subject knowledge can help you maintain focus and confidence throughout the exam. Whether you're a current student or a working professional, let Varsity Tutors connect you with qualified Denver MCAT prep that can help you work towards your academic goals.
